Students absent from school due to family vacations should be coded Unexcused. There is no excused absence code for family vacation. The Maryland School Attendance Law (Education Article, Section 7-301) also allows, "A county superintendent, school principal, or an individual authorized by the county superintendent or principal may excuse a student for a necessary absence."
